Boston University Prof Denounces Barrett As “White Colonizer” For Adopting Two Haitian Children

Authored by Jonathan Turley,

It appears that Judge Amy Coney Barrett has gone from a “cult member” for being a devout Catholic to a possible “white colonizer” for adopting two Haitian children.  Where most of us saw a loving interracial family at the White House ceremony on Saturday,  Ibram X. Kendi, the new director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University, saw a possible case of effective baby snatching by “White colonizers.”

On Saturday, Kendi wrote “Some White colonizers ‘adopted’ Black children. They ‘civilized’ these ‘savage’ children in the ‘superior’ ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.”  The obvious implication is that the Barrett’s may have used their adopted children as mere props as part of a possible effort to hide their racism. It was clearly designed to curtail the praise of the Barrett family by suggesting that the parents might be racists. Indeed, he puts “adopted” in quotation marks to suggest that some of these children are not really adopted but presumably acquired or snatched by “White people.”

After leveling that truly disgusting suggestion against this family, Kendi added “And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can’t be racist.”

It is akin to saying that you are not sure “whether not” Barrett is a kidnapper while leaving that question dangling as you explain how the criminal scheme.  It is an example how any notion of decency can be dispensed with in the criticism of conservative figures or causes. Once again, the only thing more disturbing than this outrageous attack is the relative silence of the media or Kendi’s colleagues.

It appears that it only takes a Supreme Court nomination to take a clearly loving interracial family to raise the possibility that the parents are craved racist baby snatchers.  It is not clear if Kendi would have preferred that Barrett hide two of her children or not mention them to avoid any suggestion that they are mere props.  What is clear is that he wanted to interject the possible racism of the Barretts at a time when others were complementing the Barretts and their family. He then expressed a sense of his own injury when his words were taken as an accusation of any kind:

“And whether this is Barrett or not is not the point. It is a belief too many White people have: if they have or adopt a child of color, then they can’t be racist/ I’m challenging the idea that White parents of kids of color are inherently ‘not racist’ and the bots completely change what I’m saying to ‘White parents of kids of color are inherently racist.’ These live and fake bots are good at their propaganda. Let’s not argue with them.”

In fact, many of us are not saying that Kendi said that all white parents of kids of color are racist. We found his need to raise whether the Barretts might be racists using her black children as props to be sufficiently offensive.

Judge Barrett has never had a charge of racism leveled against her as a lawyer, a law professor or a judge. While many disagree with her judicial philosophy, there is absolutely no basis to suggest that she is a racist or akin to a “white colonizer.” It is a classic set up to “prove the negative.” Prove that your adoption of two children from Haiti was not an effort to acquire “props in [your] lifelong pictures of denial.” As is often the case in the last few years, many of us are left simply dumbfounded by these vicious and gratuitous attacks. This (and so many moments) is best captured by the words of Army counsel Joseph Welch at the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954: “Have you no shame, sir, at long last? Have you no shame?”

A girlfriend of mine during the 1990s – her uncle was ambassador to Haiti appointed by Slick Willie. He later became Director for the International Officer for Migration at the UN – the top people smuggling operation in the world. He was friends with a former head of the CIA now retired in Monterey CA. The old girlfriend married this CIA dude’s son who is a northern CA advocate for illegal aliens among “other things”. No one out there in normie world has any idea just how deep this fucking rabbit hole really goes.

Mr. Flea dude,
There is an interesting side story to my post above. Now, one would think that as the head of the CIA, and after spending months planning the assassination of the most wanted guy in the world (ObL), one of the things that he would get done prior to the assassination is to scrub his son’s and daughter-in-law’s internet and social media profiles. You know, so the crazed jihadists don’t hunt down those soft targets and extract revenge on the guy that planned the killing. Duh. Well, nothing of the sort took place. I went and checked right after I heard ObL was “assassinated”, after thinking, if ObL was really assassinated, then son and daughter-in-law’s internet presence would be wiped. Guess what – nothing of the sort, one could locate them on the internet right after the “assassination” just as before the “assassination”. Son’s law firm pic and bio still up – complete with address in Salinas. Daughter-in-law same thing, work bio and pic and address in Monterey. To me this was the dog that didn’t bark and convinced me that the whole ObL assassination was all bullshit and he really did die of renal failure in Pakistan back in 2001. I always knew stuff was bullshit but man, to see it staring you in the face like that was just mind numbing.

Ice in the photos, I would say the boy looks ten maybe eleven at most and the younger one she totes around on her hip maybe 3.

Her bio says she adopted the black kids, one in 2010 and one in 2005 . As this is almost October and late in the year, that would make the boy between 15 and say 18. The younger child would be between 10 to say 12. Something ain’t adding up.

Odd.

But so is adopting outside of your own race. It seems fraught with potential issues- adoption being a big enough challenge.

The kids all seem well behaved and presentable now, so maybe these folks are both exceptional and lucky.

The real reason women in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands dress there youngest son as a girl is that they are raising them as a girl. The custom is if a poor woman has many sons and no daughters, she will raise her youngest as a girl to have some help with the house chores. There is strict delineation between men’s work and women’s work in these cultures and the men are generally lazy as hell so the mom gets worked to death carrying water, gathering firewood, cooking etc. This is considered normal among the poor but just plain weird among those who can afford to hire some extra help.

I think his charge of “racism” and “colonization” is insane, but that’s par for the course from leftists, especially black radical leftists.

I will say this: there’s almost always a ‘virtue signaling’ component present when white people adopt non-white children, especially black children. Like, “look how wonderfully not-racist we are!”

” Even before Laura L. Silsby and seven other Idahoans ended up in a Haitian jail accused of trafficking in children, Silsby had a history of failing to pay debts, failing to pay her employees and failing even to follow Idaho laws. Silsby has been the subject of eight civil lawsuits and 14 unpaid wage claims “.Feb 5, 2010

” The Washington Post characterized the relationship between Rendell and Tony Podesta as ‘close,’ writing that Podesta was a top strategist for Rendell’s 2006 reelection campaign. Philadelphia press reports indicate that Rendell’s ex wife Midge, was appointed to the position of federal judge by President Bill Clinton in 1994.
Rendell was also reported to have been involved with a child trafficking incident in Haiti just after the 2010 earthquake. The Telegraph wrote that Rendell was instrumental in pushing for the illegal removal of dozens of children out of Haiti in the days following the massive quake: “A crucial intervention was made by Ed Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania, who worked his high-powered contacts in the White House, State Department and Department of Homeland Security.”
Wikileaks emails sent during the crisis reveal that in behind-the-scenes discussion of Rendell’s Haitian efforts, Hillary Clinton’s aides characterized Rendell as extremely motivated to remove the children from Haiti as quickly as possible. The discussion included statements by Clinton aides showing an awareness that the children Rendell sought to fly from the earthquake-ravaged island nation included 12 minors who were not involved in any adoption process.”

Don’t be fooled by her “conservative” credentials. She is a certified, dyed in the wool libtard, who embraces the NWO vision of no nations and only one light brown race. Adopting black children from Haiti is a virtual signaling code that translates to “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony” type of altruistic crap that all libtards promote.
Seems like all of these so called “conservative” Supreme Court judge candidates shed their conservative cloak and side with the commie left wing gang as soon as they are confirmed.
The more things appear to change, the more they will stay the same. Just remember that the color of the robes may change, but the religion stays the same.
